Abstract
Nine species of the genus Blosyrus (Schoenherr, 1826)
(Curculionidae: Entiminae) occurring in India, Sri Lanka and
Myanmar are revised. The earlier known seven species are
redescribed, while two new species B. marshalli sp. nov. and
B. thompsoni sp. nov., are described. The subspecies spongifer
upgraded to species status upon phenotypic variations,
is supported by its geographical distribution. The genus
description is updated and a key to the species provided.
